ON THIS Third day of October A. D. 1832, personally appeared in open Court , before the Hon. the  Second Judge  Court of Common Pleas of the said Commonwealth, now sitting at Greenfield within and for the said County of Franklin, Josephathan  Glazier , at his dwelling house, being aged & infirm a resident of Leavitt in the County and Commonwealth aforesaid, aged eighty one years, who being first duly sworn according to law, doth, on his oath, make the following declaration, in order to obtain the benefit of an act of Congress passed June 7, 1832. That he entered the service of the United States under the following named officers, and served as herein stated. Third is to pay.
I, the said Jonathan Glazier, was captured at Haverhill in the County of Middlesex in the fall after the battle of Bunker Hill, 1775, and was a prisoner of William Under the command of Capt. Dyer of the same Regiment, the name of the Colonel I do not remember, but the Major is now Mr. Magill, for some months went to Roxbury near Boston where we were stationed through the winter, when we moved to Cambridge after the British army left Boston, I remained going into Boston with our company after the British left, and was present at the taking of the fort at Dorchester the day of our lightened or discharge I do not remember. In the battle of Bunker Hill I was
lighted or discharged I do not remember. In August 1777, about the time of the battle of Brandywine, I was drafted for three months to go to assist Burgoyne's army - was in the com- pany of Capt. Cross of Pownal, went south to Brandywine, then to the army, opposing Burgoyne, was still active, & began to move at Saratoga, when Burgoyne surrendered, was here about out, & his army lay down their arms. After the surrender of Burgoyne, our company was ordered down the River, out to Albany, here we stayed about one week; then we marched down to a place called Jerrytown, then or soon afterwards, having moved at this time, three months; I returned home soon after in December following. Sometime after the general thanksgiving, which circumstanced I will remember. My memory was fair, as my health declines, & I can not call to mind particular, as formerly; but I well remember and it has always been full in my mind that I read for months, the first term & then months, the last term, about months. I do not know she is living, that was out with me, or whether any one is. My mother & father were at Pownal with me.
I do not know of any soon living, old or of them, who was not with me, in either of the above towns, except it be the son Mr. M c Millen. When I was drafted to go to South Carolina I lived in New Britain - & spent a few days here, I came through the State of Connecticut. I do not remember whether I ever had a written discharge, if I had I have left the same; & I have no documentary evidence.
I was born at Hardwick in the county of Worcester, on the fif- teenth day of May 1754. I do not know whether my age be then counted or not. I lived in Hardwick till I was about twenty five years of age. I then moved to New Braintree in the same county, & lived there about 20 years - then to Oakham in the same county, where I resided eighteen years, then I moved to this place, where I have ever since resided. My neighbors all knew by reputation, that I was a soldier of the Revolution.

He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present, and declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of the agency of any State.
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
